Speech #1100073308

At the end of the debate. we could not pass it. We did not have the 60 votes. We were not even close. We had 46 votes cast in favor of comprehensive immigration reform. There were aspects of that bill. though. that we should not abandon. There were parts of it we have to return to. I think we need to return to enforcement so our borders are safer. so there are fewer undocumented immigrants crossing into the United States. I think we need enforcement in the workplace to make sure employers meet their responsibilities. But there are several other parts of the bill which we cannot ignore either.
